The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1887-12-22
Our Club Offer.

At it again? just sol And this
week we send out a number of speci-
men copies, mostly to persons but lit
tie acquainted with us. We ask
them to examine us, look us over and
see if you can find any merit. BE
sure and read our extraordinary club
offer to be found in first column of
this page. Perhaps one copy will
not be satisfying as to what the pa
per is. Then we don't mind telling
you, In the first place no political
fraud, humbug or caucus-packer a
bove ground has mortgage upon it.
1t owns itself, and you needn't stick
a pin in here, but you may write it on
the tablet of your memory, or if you
are forgetful chalk it down on your
barn door. In national politics it be-
lieves in protection in its broadcast
sense, which means homes, comfort,
happiness for the laboring man and
America for Americans. 1t is OPP
posed to all monopolies that feed and
fatten upon the people, and as to the
accursed saloon, with its outstretched
tentacles drawing within its wither-
ing grasp nearly every community in
the land, it says it SHALL GO.
In matters of State politics it believes
in electing all the little self constitu-
ted statesmen of the Levi Fuller
stripe to stay at home and make or
gans or study the aurora boreallis,
and filling our offices with full grown
men with brains in their heads. That's
our platform in a nut shell, and it is
a good one too. If you don't like it
you had better drop us like a hot po-
tato, for, before year is out We'll
make you shed "briny tears" If
you do like these broad principles,
laid down and to be taught in our
plain, homely style, give us your aid.
Ask your neighbor to join you. Wen
do you both good.
Another thing we want to tell you !:
This is the paper that year ago they
tried so hard to suppress. Why they
kicked and cuffed us, stripped us
stark naked and then pitched us out
of doors, with the snow four feet
deep and no where to lay our heads.
And then, with the aid of hireling
BOBBY, they tried to supplant us with
an organ of their own, but the poor
little wheezy thingis dead and we are
here to preach its funeral-only the
game isn't worth the powder. What
did they do this for? Well we'll tell
you. Living up here among the rock
ribbed hills of old Vermont, in plain
sight of half dozen peaks whereon
the American Eagle could sit and
shrek for freedom, with no one tc
modest it or make il afraid, and where
the very atmosphere stiffens up the
back bone, we thought we owned our
selves, and so took the liberty, when
speaking of these little fellows, self
constituted statesmen, who go up and
down the earth trying to feather theil
own nests at the expense of the com.
mon people, to call ''spade 9
spade" So, whatever may have
been the matter with "Hannah,' this
was what allied the SITTER. But it is
here yet, bright, newsy and saucy as
ever, and with subscription list Of
nearly 100. Now it asks you t.
help make it 1900. Next year il
presidential year and you will want tt
